Therefore, many gilt bronze Buddhist statues were created with arrangements based on the Sui Dynasty style of China, such as: 1. Large head and stout body with a three-faced crown. 2. A youthful face with a high nose and a smile at the corners of the mouth. Many gilt bronze Buddhist statues from this era are small, less than 50cm in height. The prevalence of small gilt bronze Buddhist statues is thought to be related to the imperial decree in the 14th year of Emperor Tenmu (685) that each household should build a Buddhist hall and enshrine Buddhist statues and scriptures. Although "each household" likely referred to the homes of officials of the provincial governor class rather than individual homes, it is believed that many small statues suitable for home altars were created in response to this decree. 【Other】 ◎We do not accept returns for reasons such as "different from image," "size does not fit," or "no longer needed."
